Hi all,
my virgin trip to Paris will not be complete without tasting authentic macarons/macaroons from Paris. Which is more recommended? Laduree or Pierre Hermes?
I read both websites and both seem to have great reviews
For your info:
Pierre Herme:

Laduree:
http://www.laduree.fr/
Laduree definitely seems more accessible. On average, how long are the queues?
|||
I%26#39;ve been wondering this myself. Can%26#39;t wait for your responses!
|||
I like Laduree best; the Herme are too sweet, IMO.
The queues move quickly, and vary depending upon time of day. I would try to avoid %26quot;after work%26quot;, the day before a holiday, etc.
|||
We never had the ones from Herme but I can%26#39;t imagine them being any more delectable than the ones we had from Laudree.
|||
Pierre Herme was the head chef at Laduree and is responsible for many of their recipes. Notably, they both have his famous Ispahan, rose macaron with litchi cream and fresh strawberries.
I find many of PH%26#39;s newer flavours to be stretching it a bit, so Laduree gets my vote.
|||
Why not both?
|||
why does everyone try to say best and worst...I am sure that everyone is different..and really...what is the difference between fanfreakingtastic and absolutelyamazing....I mean really...tomato tomata....
|||
Actually, flying Geo, there are other big names in the macaron field. I have tried Laduree, PH, Dalloyau and Aoki and so far my favourite remains Laduree, but I%26#39;ve heard that Mulot is exceptional - on my list for my next trip. You may find that serious macaron tasting will take a lot of time! Just make sure that your very first macaron is a good one - mine was from Boulangerie Paul, and it was so awful that I almost decided that macarons were not my thing. Luckily I gave Laduree a shot.
|||
Forgot to say that I found the Rue Royale Laduree was always crowded, Champs Elysees a bit better but not much. On the other hand the Rue Bonaparte location had no queues at all, with the added advantage of Pierre Herme being close by.
|||
thanks for the tip! i will probably head down to the Rue Bonaparte Laduree since you pointed out that Pierre Herme is nearby!
Do they sell individual pieces, or must we buy in boxes of 12?

You can buy individual pieces, that%26#39;s how you get to sample many flavours. There are large ones, which cost more, I prefer to stick to the smaller ones. You can eat more of them ;-)
